To ALL right-minded people, the
grave remarks of Judge McCully in a
recent case of assault with pistol,
will give unfeigned pleasure, and will
be recorded with unqualified appro-
baton.
The Judge made two distinct and
very noticeable points in his short adj
dress. First, on the folly and iniquity
of persons carrying deadly weapons,
pistols especially; pointing out the
inevitable consequences of so doing.
''The direct tendency of a mans car
rying pistol" says the Judge, sis to
cause other men to carry pistols" = =
"Pistols being carried are then used.
1t comes upon the mere motion of the
hand, man is shot down in alleged
self-defence That is a barbarous
condition of things and not the con
dition of country governed by law"
Further on, ''There was certainly no
justification for it, and no proYoca-
ton"
These brief but weighty sentences
will find an echo in the heart of every
peaceful citizen. The habit of pistol
carrying has not as yet made much
way in Honolulu, or street homicide,
attempted or accomplished, would be
frequent. Therefore, our history is
nearly untarnished by this abominable
crime, and the community may con
graduate itself that it is likely to be
SO while a voice from the Supreme
Court announces that the utteranee
quoted above is concurred in by all
the Judges"
The public owes fresh debt to the
Supreme Court for these outspoken
views enunciated by Judge McCully.
The other important point made by
the Judge, is this: 1.-THE Court in
tends generally to mark appeals taken
without reason, and where the pen
atty has been right, by an increase of
the penalty The frequency of al
most indiscriminate appeal has doubt
less been fostered by the notorious in
capacity and ignorace of so many mis-
called Justices in the country districts,
men appointed to, and upheld in posts
for which they daily give evidence of
their unftness, simply in pursuance
of policy, the sole motive of which
is the sacrifice of the welfare of the
public to that of the Ring.
In the case referred to, the Judge

Volcano Excursion

Since Madame PeIe has resumed business
at Kilauea, number here have expressed
desire to see this wonder in active operation,
and the Wilder Steamship Co., have decided
for Keauhou,, where visitors for the volcano
will be landed, and have only fourteen miles
land travel to the crater. The visitors will
be cared for by Mr.. Maby at the Volcano
House, and ample time will be allowed to
thoroughly inspect Kilauea, accompanied by
competent guides, who will point out all OBJ
jects of interest to the tourist. To all who
desire a pleasant trip on the water, and a
visit to the greatest curiosity of nature. here
is an opportunity which should not be missed

combed with fraud and rascality. Can
Mr.. Gibson point to any one good
thing that he has done to his fellow
men in his progress to fortune? What
lands has he opened up for the enter
prise of the citizens of this State
whose political fortunes he most I'M
fortunately guides! What action of
his has increased the value of land?
If we look at the only piece of land
he has had influence over, we can
find that he has grabbed all for him
self, and that he has oppressed the
poor natives who live beside him. A
country which had brilliant prospects
when he took the helm, has had those
brilliant prospects clouded, and we
have excellent authority for saying
that in spite of the success of the loan
in London, not another dollar can be
obtained unless very different course
is followed in the future, to what has
been followed in the past.
Look on the one picture and on the
other. See the practical good being
done in Hilo and Hamakua, the brill
liant prospect opened out. and then
think of the Grass folly and stupidity
which is perilling even that brilliant
scheme, while it has well nigh brought
the exchequer Of Hawaii to bank
ruptey, and has sullied the honor of
the country forever.

Who gets the money for the Chinese
in quarantine? There must be con
siderable Doodle to be collected in
''fees" when the Board of Health can.
in defiance of all law, keep men at so
much day, until they are forced to
give up their prey through writ of
habeas corpus. But the boodlers have
strong grip, and though forced to
let the men GO, have held on to their
baggage, and for this, we understand
further suit is to be brought against
them. The tenacity with which the
Board of Health officials, under the
orders of son-in-law hold on, shows
pretty accurately how the land lies
and what there is in it. On no mere
question Of abstract right would a
fight be made, but as there are com
missions, and the many ways of oiling
greedy and itching palms, to be con
sidered, it is quite a different thing.
The Board of Health, as represented
by the Minister of Foreign Affairs
and his factotum, have far too pre-
clous irons in the fire to calmly &C
quiesce in their being wantonly dis
turbed. The President of the Board
has been issuing illegal regulations
with regard to the entrance of Chinese,
just as the Minister of Interior has
done with regard to opium selling.
We have no objection to restrictions
being put upon the entrance of Chi
nese, it is policy that has often been
advocated in these columns, but we
want the restrictions to be legally
made. We have no desire to see a
Minister becoming a law-making
power in the country The Hawaiian
Government are certainly in evil case,
they have not known which way to
turn for money, and they have fallen
upon every expedient, lawful and I'M
lawful, for raising cash with which to
fill their own and their parasites
pockets.
Upon no ground, legal OF otherwise,
could the Minister of Interior put
fifty cents into the pocket of the Mar
shall for every opium license issued,
and yet he pockets that amount and
good round sum it must come to
week. The Marshal's salary is GER
tainly sufficient one and the Legis
lature never contemplated that it
should be nearly doubled by peddling
opium licenses.
The whole system of finance at pres
ent is one gigantic steal From the
highest to the lowest, with few hon
orable exceptions, everybody is trying
to get what he can, and lay by for the
stormy day coming. Meanwhile we
should like to know who pockets the
Doodle on Chinese in quarantine.

The Government after much bung
ling have got small installment of
their loan-but they might have had
it long ago if their bonds had been
ready. They will now have to wait
for the balance until the bonds arrive
here, aresigned and then forwarded to
London again. How brilliantly they
have bungled their finance can be
seen when it is known that they have
had two sets of bonds printed, one in
dollars and one in pounds, and that
they have been paying interest since
January upon money which they had
not yet received. 1t is true they are
allowed three per cent interest from
the bank in which the money has been
deposited. but as they pay six per
cent for the money, they have actually
been losing three per cent interest
ever since January Satisfactory no
doubt, to the King and Ministry, but
hardly so to the general public.
The negotiations for the loan in
London have been, we are informed,
quite fair and aboveboard We had
no necessity for borrowing, ought
never to have borrowed, and what we
did borrow should never have been
raised in London, but having done so,
the London end of the business has
been squarely and properly done. The
bondholders, many of whose names
have been shown to US, are not the
syndicate who first foated the bonds,
this we have on good authority.
If our Government use the money
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1887-04-12

A FURTHER enquiry into the falsltica-
ton of accounts by the Ministry makes
the case blacker against them. There
is no doubt that the Ministers of In
terror and Finance have drawn money
from the treasury under false pre-
tences-and as little doubt that the
Minister of Interior has committed
what is tantamount to perjury during
the process.
The votes for the extension of Queen
street and of Beretania street have
been withdrawn from the treasury and
before that money was paid the Min
lister of Interior had to certify that
the work was done. The work has
never been done, and that the people
can see for themselves. What then
is the position of the Ministers? why,
they deserve to stand in the Police
Court before Judge Dayton, just as
any other citizens who may have been
guilty of like nefarlous practices.
Forms of law have no influence over
these men; if they can so calmly di-
vert the funds in the treasury, what
may we expect will become of the
money that they handle under the
loan Act?
The whole Ministerial fabric will
tumble like a pack of cards one of
these days, and will carry the King
along with it.

Inauguration Concert, at Thomas
Square.

Thomas Square has at last been success
fully inaugurated as public square by the
Hawaiian band giving one of its entertain
ments to a large audience on Thursday even
ing last. This plot of ground, about seven
acres, was donated by the Hawaiian Govern
ment as a public square some fifteen years
ago, and was named Thomas Square in
honor of Admiral Thomas OF the British
navy, who, in a kindly manner, undid the
act of taking possession of these Islands BY
Lord George Paulet, the British Government
endorsing the former and eensurinp the
latter. Shortly after the square was en-
closed and trees planted, which was about
about ali that was done until late years
when the Hon. A. s. Cleghorn who takes a
lively interest in such matters, Commenced
the improvement of the park, with the small
appropriations granted by the Legislature
frem time TO time, until the present, when
the visitor will find that Thomas Souare
does not exist In name alone, but Is a really
nice well shaded park. with seating accom-
modatlons for moderate number, and ar
tistically laid out with finely prayeled walks
leading to the band stand in the center. and
other directions as we'll. The grass plots are
be .utiful and we'll trimmed The ba.
stand IN the center Is finely arranged for the
proper dissemination of the music, and tbe
other details to make it popular resort
with the public.
1t only required the band to call together
large attendance to listen to the sweet strains
of their instruments. DIR. Michiels was also
present, and favored the audience with a
cornet solo of his own composition, entitled
Queen kapiolani's. Farewell" The pro-
gramine was good one, and was enioyed by
all present.
Owing to the want of seats. many had to
quietly camp on the grass, and seemed to
enjoy the change, while the children were
perfectly at home rolling on the grass, a
luxury they do not have every DAY. Alto
gether the inauguration was IA perfect sac
cess.

In addition to this there is the crew,
composed of some twenty five or thirty
young thieves from the Reformatory
School who, if they are not paid, will
have to be fed. Then 1920 has been
expended for uniforms for the three
chief officers, and $3.50 for sailors
togs, in all $1,690. Moreover about
$4,000 are to be expended in provisions
and small stores, and how much the
guns and ammunition are to cost we
have been unable to find out. Alto
gether when the Kaimiloa has been in
commission a year, she will represent
to the country net expenditure of
$4,000 and for what? Echo may
indeed answer, for what? Family
comes the whisper, ''for folly!" This
country no more needed the Kaimiloa
than a jackass does a diamond neck
lace; in fact we are by no means sure
that the jackass with It's necklace
would present more congruous ap-
pearance than Hawaii does with her
so-called man-of-war.

The Cadets

It would not be bad idea to get the Kali
miloa to sea as quick as possible, for By so
doing the public would be relieved in body
and mind from the deprsdations of the
naval cadets. These Cadets" as they are
called, seem to be composed of the worst
elements in the community, and if they
only succeed as well at sailoring as they do
at stealing, there is no doubt but that they
will all be admirals-if they only live long
enough. On Thursday one of these cherubs
named Mitchell confessed to the stealing of
money, which he had buried on the prison
premises. The week before several Of these
worthless had a similar experience, and the
sooner they are at sea the better for the
good of the town.
